Secret Invasion #6

Almost all the comics I read have Skrulls showing up and fighting superheroes. I saw this book because it had a cool cover with Captain America, Iron Man and Thor and my dad said this is the book that explains more about what the Skrulls are doing. I just think it looked good. I saw what the Skrulls are doing in the other books.

I liked in the first few pages how they showed all of the Skrulls fighting different heroes in different places. I like how the one Skrull just blasted that girl with lasers from his eyes like Cyclops.

It was pretty weird that the leader of the Skrulls was Spider-Woman. I think it’s odd that she was the leader. I’m not used to girls being the leaders of stuff so that was pretty cool. I like that she is the one in charge of the whole group of Skulls

A cool part was how all the superheroes were on the huge ship trying to come and fight the Skrulls. Spider-Man just wants to get something to eat and the other heroes are getting mad because he’s making jokes. I like that when they get to New York the whole city is on fire and there are Skrull ships all over the place and they are too late to stop them.

I got pretty mad when the crowd was saying welcome to the Skrulls. The Skrulls were telling people that everything was going to be better now that they were in charge but the super heroes think they’re lying. And a lot of humans wanted the Skrulls to be there. They’re running around holding signs saying that they love the Skrulls and they’re just kissing their butts. The humans were really stupid for wanting the Skrulls to take everything. They should know they’re just going to get killed. They should know better than to just believe the aliens and I thought it was good when the Skrulls attacked the stupid humans and blasted them.

I love that Nick Fury has a huge frigging gun. It’s like the biggest gun I ever saw. It’s bigger than him. He’s got the coolest weapon. It was funny when his team beat one of the Skrulls and someone was like, ‘okay only 8000 more to go’.

When I read the boom boom sounds and saw the lightening I knew it was going to be Thor. I thought it was great when Captain America was standing up next to Thor and he was being all stubborn with him because Thor didn’t recognize him because he’s new Cap.

The art was real good. I like how all the Skrulls are drawn and they look pretty creepy with the long ears and crazy chins. The picture of Thor and Captain America together was one of my favorites. I think its kinda weird how they draw Skrull Venom though. He didn’t have any white on him except for his eyes and teeth. Skrull Hulk looked massive!

My favorite part was when Iron Man said ‘Avengers Assemble’ and all of the good guys and all of the bad guys teamed up in a massive huge team and got together to attack the Skrulls. I like that even bad guys like Norman Osborn and Venom are going to help the good guys out because they all need to beat the Skrulls together. And Norman Osborn looks cool with a machine gun. The part where all of the heroes and bad guys are standing together shouting is awesome. I like Spider-Man swinging over all of them.

The last page is great because everyone is doing something against the Skrulls. Thor is going to smash someone with his hammer. Captain America is swinging his shield at another Skrull. Venom is ready to eat one of them and Iron Man is just blasting away at a Skull Spider-Man with his lasers.

This was one of the best books and I can’t wait to read the full battle between all the heroes and villains and all the evil Skrulls.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to quote a big section of this review because it really took my back a few years (and I'm only 26!).

Man, I miss being a kid reading comics. :( Thanks for sending me back on memory lane. You're a great writer. Keep on reading (and don't forget to read "regular" books, too!).

About this Blog

New Comic Reviews Posted Every Week

The 'Kid''s secret identity is Liam, my son. He really wanted to do this and eventually his younger brother Ethan wanted to join it. Basically they talk and I write.

They pick the books they want to read from the store each week and we read the books together, discuss them afterwards and then he does his reviews. The choice of what books to review will be theirs, not mine.

I'm letting a 9 and 6 year old boy go loose in the comic store every week in the hopes they/we can provide readers with a different perspective on some of today's comic books. Maybe you don't have kids but think it's interesting to find out what a grade-schooler thinks about them? Maybe you do have kids and this column can provide you with some insight on what to seek out on your next trip to the comic shop?

They love feedback so feel free to leave a comment on the blog or email us about what you think.

Thanks for reading.
